Git Info — Almost Like “svn info”

· 18 Comments

I have been try­ing to find some­thing like svn info but for Git. Luck­i­ly, I stum­bled upon Duane John­son’s script. Here’s git-info.sh:

I made an alias in my .pro­file to make it a bit more acces­si­ble:

    Thanks for that.

    ‘was hop­ing git would have some­thing bet­ter than “cat .git/config” but no 😀

    Nice lit­tle script any­way

    the git log line did not work with my ver­sion, 1.7.6.1. I replaced it with

    git –no-pager log –pretty=format:’%h was %an, %ar: %s’ –graph ‑n 10

    which now gives nice com­pact out­put of the last 10 com­mits, such as

    Hi what if i want all these in my application..i want to dis­play the same[git last commit,git url etc] in my “About my project page” which i have done in rails

    cool script. this com­mand is a bit bogus: git —no-pager log —max-count=1

    it should be git log –max-count=1

    Hi, you can drop git-info (as exe­cutable) at your ‘git-core’ direc­to­ry and then you can just exe­cute ‘git info’ inside your repos­i­to­ry, no need for the alias in your shell. This also means that ‘git info’ would be avail­able for all the users in your sys­tem.

    In Slack­ware ‘git-core’ direc­to­ry is /us­r/libex­ec/git-core/.
